first off, i just have to tell all of you who wished well wishes thank you so very much from the bottom of my heart. you guys are just the sweetest! so far bedrest is going okay and baby hasn't tried to make its debut yet! let's hope it stays that way just a little while longer! ;)

but i am not going to lie, i am going a little stir crazy with not being able to do anything or clean anything, but thankfully the Olympics are helping me with this. i just love the Olympics!

I did, however, want to share just a few fun pictures from when the kids and i went to visit my brother for a quick weekend, right before i got put on bedrest.

Happy Wednesday!

we love going to zoos and just watching the animals. playing in the sand and looking for hidden treasures is a favorite of ours too. digging for fossils. we like to explore and climb. and enjoying the day in the sun is a perfect day in our book.
followed by an afternoon nap.

we enjoyed our trip to the Omaha Zoo!

I am also blogging over at Paper Heart Camera today! Go check it out!!

Happy Wednesday!

When we told people we were heading to Branson,MO. this weekend, almost everybody told us to visit Silver Dollar City. It's a large amusement park that is themed in the old mining time and has lots of rides and shops and shows. I was a little hesitant going at first because, hello! we have lots of little people with us! But everyone told us it would be worth it and boy were they right!

  and just so you know. my three year old is fearless. seriously, if this kid was tall enough to ride it, he rode it. love the drive for adventure in this guy!

  we had a blast at Silver Dollar City. And you can just bet that we will be making another trip back there soon! You can see more pictures from our trip here. 

 Happy Wednesday!

our new nightly routine has been taking long walks along some of the beautiful paths at some of our favorite parks. sometimes we even stop to fish for a few hours at the lakes and ponds nearby. we are so loving this new adventure and look forward to it on the warm and crisp nights.

  i love watching . it's  always a new adventure every time we go and they  always get so excited.

and i stay behind the pack to wait for our little straggler. she always has to stop and look at bugs or pick out rocks or just sit for a bit to just watch everybody eles.

i love when we stay to watch the sunset and look for the moon and stars. 

i am just loving our walks.

happy wednesday!! hope you are having a wonderful week!

When I first met my husband the first thing I immediately knew about him was that he was a semi-professional bass fisherman. Meaning, besides working his IT/Security Analyst job, he fished all the time. And I love his passion for it. Since we have moved his love for fishing has taken a backseat while we get situated and get our son the care he needs. But when we started having our beautiful children, Wayne could not wait for the day to finally take them fishing. 

Our first family fishing trip!

    I think we have a few naturals on our hands.

Baby girl wanted so badly to join in the fishing fun. I think it's safe to say that a princess fishing pole will be joining our collection soon. However, we did enjoy watching the boys fish and wonder through the trails and paths nearby.

The only thing we caught! A tiny little frog!

happy wednesday!
